Nutmeg, known as small Indian nut in Turkish, is believed to have developed first on the Banda Islands east of the Malaysia peninsula. Nutmegs are native to Indonesia and are extensively grown in tropical Asia and America.<\/p>\n
It is said that massaging with nutmeg oil relieves rheumatic pains.<\/p>\n
It is supposed to have been an expensive and highly esteemed spice in the cuisine of the Middle Ages. It was very popular from the 15th to the 19th century. It was generally carried in wooden or silver boxes with an in-built grate.<\/p>\n
Dutch merchants held the nutmeg trade in their hands for a very long time. However their monopoly was broken when spices were smuggled out of the Islands and grown elsewhere.<\/p>\n
It is rumoured that the single ingestion of a large quantity of nutmegs may cause hallucinations, that it is a hallucinogen. Such a large quantity of the spice is also poisonous.<\/p>\n
Indonesia and Granada, whose flag bears the image of the nutmeg are leaders in nutmeg production. The first harvest to be obtained from a nutmeg tree requires 7-9 years after it is planted and reaches its full production in 20 years.<\/p>\n
Nutmeg is the essential spice for sauce becham\u00e9l. It also goes very well with spinach. It is sprinkled on hot or cold eggnog as an ornament.<\/p>\n
I suggest you buy nutmeg whole. Prick a needle into it to check that it is fresh. A droplet of oil should appear on its surface. Grate the required quantity indicated in the recipe. Nutmeg powder very quickly loses its aroma and taste. <\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" T\u00fcrk\u00e7ede k\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck hindistan cevizi olarak da bilinen muskat\u0131n ilk Malaya yar\u0131madas\u0131n\u0131n do\u011fusundaki Banda Adalar\u0131\u2019nda yeti\u015fti\u011fi d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcn\u00fclmektedir.
